NOTE

Retraining Subconscious Anchors to Control Emotions and Improve Life Quality

Everyone possesses subconscious anchors that can trigger emotional states, often without conscious choice. For example, the act of lying down can trigger anxiety due to an ingrained emotional response. To change how emotions are affected by external conditions, one must actively retrain these anchors by associating peaceful experiences with them, such as sound, breathing techniques, or specific temperatures. The overall quality of life directly correlates with the quality of our emotions. A personal anecdote illustrates that despite achieving material success, an emotional state rooted in fear and anger can overshadow gratitude and fulfillment, highlighting that the pursuit of physical goals often ties back to the emotions they evoke. It is essential to prioritize emotional well-being, as it allows for more effective achievement of physical objectives and enhances overall life quality.
